This was an amazing experience! My wife and booked both the Hawk Walk and Owl Experience. Trevor was kind and knowledgeable. He obviously has a passion for this and the majestic birds really trust him. The setting for the Hawk Walk was beautiful. Highly recommended!
Trevor was absolutely fantastic. Provided a great experience from start to finish. Very passionate about his work and the animals in his care. The birds are beautiful and well looked after. Trevor is very knowledgeable about the subject. It was great to be able to take Sheila out around the beautiful grounds and see the castle from the outside too. Would absolutely recommend.
We ABSOLUTELY adored the falconry experience!!! Trevor was amazing! His experience, passion, and love for falcons and owls was truly inspiring!! Not only did we learn so much, we got to have the peregrine hawks and owls fly to our arms. The birds were so sweet and beautiful. We were a group of four travelling together which was perfect! This was an unforgettable once-in -a lifetime experience that everyone living in and visiting Ireland should experience!!! We will remember this forever and recommend to everyone we know who is going to visit Ireland.
Excellent experience for anyone who is looking to do something special while in Dublin. The grounds of Luttrellstown Castle provides a majestic backdrop full of beautiful photo ops. Trevor is great with his knowledge and wit. Definitely was a highlight worth stopping for
I can highly recommend visiting the Dublin Falconry - this experience was so special. I was greeted warmly by Trevor and his two dogs and we took some time to sit and chat over a cup of tea before heading out on the hawk walk. The surroundings are stunning and Trevor did a great job at sharing insights about both the birds and the area. It was incredibly special to fly and carry the hawk, and it is very clear that Trevor takes great care of and forms a special bond with all his feathery charges. I could not have asked for a better experience :)
Trevor was nothing less than exceptional throughout the day with us. We really enjoyed our experience with him and his Raptors. Seriously such a cool experience and you could tell the passion he has in his craft with his birds. Like an extended family to him.
I had an amazing time during the falconry experience! The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the birds — he shared so many interesting facts about falcons, hawks, and their unique behaviors. It was fascinating to learn how each bird is trained and how skilled they are in the air. The dogs were also fantastic — so well-trained and full of personality. Watching them work alongside the birds was really impressive and added a whole new layer to the experience. Overall, it was a truly memorable day. I learned a lot, had a great time, and would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in wildlife or just looking for something a little different and exciting!
This was such an amazing experience! I highly recommend it. It is such a unique experience, one of a kind. I can’t do anything like this back home! Both Trevor’s were so kind and generous from the moment we got there! It is a private tour, which made it even better. The smaller the group you have, the better. If you’re looking to do something fun and different, I highly recommend booking the Hawk Walk! It was easy to get to and from via taxi. It is located on beautiful land. We could not be more happy to have been able to have done this. I will never forget this experience.

Awesome food,very good service and reasonable prices. I loved the cajun chicken enchilada the best. The options for kids are also good and varied. We will be able to order food only upto 9 pm though we can sit through till later depending on the days. Has a spacious parking lot. Had a wonderful experience and would love to visit again.
Great food, I know where I'll be eating when around this area again
Nice place, lovely food & great service
Carvery is decent with fairly standard selection of options. The portion sizes are a little small for the price, cuts of meat could be more generous for what you pay, 13 euro for a dinner. Coffee is nice with standard desserts.
I have gone to Bradys lots of times and always enjoyed my meal and I have recommend it to lots of people. But on Wed night 10th of July it was very bad. We ordered our food at 7-10 it arrived at 8-25. They forgot about us when food arrived it was terrible. The waiter taught it was a joke that we were waiting so long. Very disappointed 😥
Consistently excellent food, nicely presented, coming from the kitchen. Extremely helpful, pleasant and friendly staff. No loud music or loud television which is a definite plus in creating a relaxed atmosphere. Easily the best place to eat in Blanchardstown/Castleknock.
Very good food at a reasonable price nice atmosphere
Plenty of parking, good location, quiet area.The service was a bit slow but the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was tasty with generous portions and reasonably priced. Good for a couple or a group. We would go back.

Ireland v South Africa. Brilliant atmosphere. Band after match 80 music. Made the night complete. They were brilliant. Service good for the amount of people in the pub. Everyone in great form what a win.
One large room basically, unfriendly staff. No atmosphere. Would not return.
Very quiet. Good service and friendly atmosphere
Nice pub. Went in for 10 and when I was leaving, the barman handed my a glass for me to have my own pints at home. Didn't provide any drink though.
I love this classic pubs, very quiet, very familiar. Place to go to have a pint and talk
Kavanaghs a nice decent water hole, consisting of bar and lounge. The bar a fair size which has a t.v. showing horse racing. The longe is large space well decorated selling a wide selection of beer, cider and stout. A blackboard advertising nearly 20 gins. No food is served at any time. But they have function room and will organise your requirements. Good friendly service.
Very quiet in the lounge so easy to have a conversation very clean .great selection of beers
Well run, great staff spotless clean, great service, and best of all one of the best pint of Guinness to be had in Dublin 15, area

Fantastic Catholic Church in the heart of Castleknock. Great community centre all sorts of activities to bring young and old together.
They were very well equipped to handle a large crowd attending
Beautiful little church priest excellent at christening, great day for 4 new baby Catholics
Most beautiful and well designed contemporary Church.Mass clearly audible and well served. A fine Spiritual Experience.
Watched the remembrance mass, online for those who passed away in the last year, and it was lovely. A very dear friend of mine lived in this parish and died in february and this mass was a lovely tribute to him and to the rest of this parishioners who passed away....
I moved to Castleknock recently, and even though the church is not working full time because the covid-19, I was really well welcomed by Mary, can't wait to join the church activities when they will back.
Attended a funeral mass there but the priests show was a good long hour I think he should be more considerate to the congregation and their time..
Today with hope and joy "we,though many are one body" returned to attend the Celebration of Holy Mass by Fr. Kieran Coghlan. It was very special. Thank you.
